In Albany, red light means go, go, go

Check out the video below, produced by George de Piro, a resident of the Center Square section of Albany who decided to use his iPhone to document the city’s plague of red-light running. De Piro first posted the video on the Albany blog — you can view his post here — but he’s also featured in Sunday’s Advocate column. (Click here to read it.)

De Piro thinks installing cameras is an solution to the city’s red-light anarchy. I’m not too sure about that idea. Too Big Brother, perhaps. I mean, is that really who we want to be? A society that disregard basic maxims to such a degree that we need government cameras to keep us on the straight and narrow?
